Depeche Mode Remixes
My friend Leah in Argentina sent me a lovely tango remix of "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode. It stays pretty true to the song yet adds plenty of Latin charm through the accordians etc. It's very fun.
Another Depeche remix that blew me away was the 'minimix' by electro artist Nullsleep , he's a musician who programs music using old nintendo sound chips. So, imagine Mario and Luigi on speed, at a rave with Depeche Mode bringing the beats! Nullsleep set up a record label for like minded artists called 8-bit peoples. Last Wednesday, some lucky bastards on the East Coast got to watch Nullsleep and other "chiptune" musicians perform in 8bit Movie, a documentary about art and video games which was screened exclusively at the Museum of Modern Art in NY.
The third remix is really different one, it's stripped down cover by Susanna and the Magical Orchestra. They cover quite a lot of songs in the same manner, exuding all the detached Norweign charm they can muster! Personally, If I wanted to hear lounge versions of New Wave and electropop songs, I would throw on some Nouvelle Vague, they're absolutely champ (even though they're French).
So, take your pick, these are the three most unique remixes I've heard.
Enjoy the Silence (a la Tango)
Enjoy the Silence (Susanna and the Magical Orchestra)
Enjoy the Silence (Nullsleep minimix)
